Successful software projects often snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Most software professionals are familiar with the dreaded scenario: the project that cost you blood and sweat (and possibly tears) over a period of months results in a system that falls over under real world conditions on the first day.
But all the use cases are complete and signed off. All the unit tests pass. The quality assurance team have been playing office golf for weeks.
There are no bugs. There are also no users, because response times can be measured in minutes, not micro-seconds.
And it's not just performance. You're lucky if the features mostly meet business requirements, and the bug counts aren't too high.
How does a software project end up in a bad place?
The answer is: gradually. Things don't go wrong overnight. The frog doesn't notice the water slowly reaching boiling point. (There is one exception: if you choose the wrong basic architecture at the start you're pretty much screwed from day one. This blog post won't help you with that one.)
Software projects tend to go off course a little each day. So how do you stay on course over a long period of time? You need to measure your location, and the direction you're heading in. Notice that I didn't say "accurately measure". It's easy to measure lots of things accurately, like bug counts, and story points, and page latency. These are all useless if one tiny bug in the shopping cart code is killing 50% of transactions, and it just looks like you have low conversions.
At nearForm, we believe in establishing a weekly rhythm for our projects. Regardless of the software development methodology, a weekly rhythm gives our projects a healthy heartbeat. We run a weekly demo of the current state of the system to check in with stakeholders and keep ourselves honest. Nothing encourages honesty more than working code.
(I've written more about our weekly demo in a separate blog post.)
However, it isn't enough just to demonstrate functionality every week. You must also measure.
We measure the things that really count: the number of new registrations per day; the number of completed purchases; the overall error rate. What to measure is driven by the real needs of our customers, the things that really matter in growing their business. This is normally expressed in the form of key performance indicators (KPIs). One of the first questions we ask in a new customer engagement is "What are your KPIs?" Then we figure out a way to measure them.
This approach is very effective because it allows you to apply limited resources to maximum effect. There's no point being feature complete if you haven't built the right features. KPIs keep everyone focused on the end game, prompting them regularly to ask: why are we doing this? Does this task actually move us forward? The entire week's activities are measured by their result on KPIs, week after week. The ship stays on course, and there are no nasty surprises.
In practice, there are some challenges to this achieving this ideal, especially from day one. The project may not be live, so there's no way to capture production KPIs. Or the KPIs themselves may not be known. They may conflict with each other. Accurate measurement may not be possible. It's easy to come up with challenges to this approach.
Let's look at this a different way. How much information do you actually need? If greater accuracy won't change your mind, it's pretty much useless.
Imagine you're on a road trip and you're running low on fuel. You can drive for another 24.198km at exactly 100km/h. The next station is in 12.386km. Should you stop for fuel? Seems like you should, to an accuracy of five significant digits, no less.
What if I frame the question as: "You have about 20km of fuel, and the next station is in about 10km, should you stop?" Is your answer any different? But I'm out by 20% on my numbers!
Rough numbers enable us to arrive at a quick answer that seems obvious. It's obvious because we have a better feel for driving a car than we do for abstract business metrics.
There's a deeper question. How are we able to reduce accuracy so much and still get useful results? Because the key thing is not accuracy. It's uncertainty.
All business is risky, and risk comes from uncertainty. If we can lower the uncertainty to comfortable levels, we can take risks and reap the rewards. In the example above, the uncertainty level of 20% did not make the numbers useless. It was still clear we needed to stop for fuel.
How can we apply this idea to help us build better software? Let's take the example of loading a product page on a website. We can measure the amount of time it takes to return the page. On a production system, you'll want to know the average load time, and what percentage of people saw load times over your "acceptable" level. In production, you can measure this completely accurately, because you can capture all the data, from every single user interaction.
In development, you can't do this. At best, you can run a series of requests against the product page, and measure the response time of the staging server.
This is very far from production. Surely you need to run a full load test at production levels, preferably the week before go live, so that you can get accurate measurements on the final system?
Remember: it's not about accuracy, it's about reducing uncertainty. If you measure the load time of the product page on the staging server, under simulated conditions that in no way match production, using a database of test data, you are not wasting your time. You can still reduce uncertainty. Is there a bug that means the page takes 30 seconds to load? Perhaps the system was fine last week, but you've just introduced that bug. Perhaps each set of new features, introduced each week, makes the page slightly slower. Will you notice if you just test manually? Perhaps there's a bug in the caching layer that only manifests after 16 page loads. Will you catch it?
Put in place a simple performance test for page load times, run it each week, and report on the numbers each week. Make no mistake, this process does not give you an accurate measurement of production behavior. But it does reduce uncertainty. It gives you a reasonable proxy for production that will catch all sorts of mistakes. It gives you a way to measure how new features affect system performance. It gives you a way to validate the effectiveness of the caching architecture. It gives you a number to work with.
It may not be an accurate number, but it is much better than flying blind.
In practice, this approach turns out to be very effective.
It prevents almost all nasty surprises (the worst thing that can happen to you in business). It focuses the team on an important aspect of the system: is it fast enough to be usable? It installs a culture of measurement.
All these benefits arise from an inaccurate measurement of a test system that will never run in production. They arise because measurement of any kind, and especially repeated measurement, reduces uncertainty.
At nearForm, we believe in measurement. It is a core part of our culture as a professional services business. Sometimes we have to be quite insistent in bringing this to the table, and making sure that performance numbers are reviewed each week, from the first week. As the weekly demo and the weekly performance numbers become part of the culture of the project itself, the project team gains more confidence and ability. Each team member can see the risk going down, and is encouraged to try more and do more.
You can't eradicate uncertainty. Almost all software development methodologies try to do this and fail miserably. Instead, embrace uncertainty! Tame it with measurement, and conquer risk.

Contributed by Dai Endurance Athlete, Brian Finley, who PR'd over his last Leadville by 25 minutes and change this year.
What a race and experience this year! Woke up to crisp morning and clear sky's for early 6:30am start.
This year was my 4th Leadville 100 and this was the year I was going to break the 9 hour barrier. I had all my splits on my top tube with split times for mile 11, 26, 40, 50, 60, 74, 78.5, 89 and Finish.
I started in the 4th starting corral (green) which put me close to the front of the 1500 racer field. The first 11 miles consist of a fast 5 mile decent out of town right off the gun. Then you hit dirt and after a couple of fast miles you come to a wall of people, 3 abreast up a steep climb for 0.8 miles. I was lucky to that the crowd of riders I was with all stayed on their bikes and crawled up at 3.3-4mph. Following this, I was pleased to be around all riders that kept their cool and just made it through the next section without getting frustrated at the pace due to the traffic. I knew I was slower than my desired split, but I was only able to go so fast considering the traffic without doing something dumb. Mile 11 I came in 3 minutes slower than my desired split of 48 minutes, but I felt good and knew a good section for me was coming up.
I felt amazing this next section that included a super fast 3 mile paved decent, then about 8 mile climb that had about 2 miles of pavement, 2 miles of relative flat which I attacked and passed so many people. I pretty much went in the passing lane and never came out of it, got on a wheel when I could and then passed when ready. The next 4 mile climb was awesome as well, kept grinding in the passing lane, stayed in myself and just crushed it to the top of Powerline. This sketchy decent of about 3 miles was nice and conservative and just held my line and did nothing to risk ending my day. The next 4.5 miles to next aid station was amazing. Pavement flat where I joined a group of about 8 that grew to about 15-20. We held a great pace and came into mile 26 about 3 minutes under pace. I was stoked to make up 6 minutes at this stage and felt amazing.
The next section of gentle rolling up/down jeep road and 3 mile descending single track was also great. Really felt like legs were feeling great, hydrating well and continued to pass more people than passed me. Mile 40 had me picking up another 2 minutes so at this point I was 5 minutes ahead of my pace and felt great going into the 10 mile Columbine climb. I picked up a new Camelback and H20 bottle for the climb from my crew. The next 10 miles is hard and I was well prepared for it and just put my head down and grinded the 3000' feet. I had my first hint of cramps about ½ way up and as usual they quickly melted away using my electrolytes. I felt good and was really encouraged with my effort at this point. I came into mile 50 at 4:33 which was 7 minutes ahead of my pace time and 16 minutes ahead of my 2016' time which I was more excited about.
After a careful decent from the top, I met my family again for hydration and more electrolytes. Mile 60 I was up 8 minutes on my pace! Feeling great I grinded the next section that included an overall negative grade but 3 mile single track climb. I really pushed myself to stay with a fast group which was awesome and felt great that I could stay with them up to next aid station at mile 74.
I picked up last hydration pack and bottle and was 12 minutes ahead of my pace time!! I was quick out of the aide station and left my group of riders. I ended up exposed in the pesky headwind alone through the next 4.5 miles road section to Powerline climb. 78.5 miles I was > 13 minutes ahead of pace. The next 3 out of 10 miles beat me up. I started to have severe cramps where multiple times my left leg completely seized. I unfortunately had to do much more walking of the bike than I wanted to, but I kept moving forward. I depleted my electrolytes before I reached the top of the climb. I knew I gave back a lot of time on this section but stayed positive and crushed a quick 8 mile descent before tackling the return 3 mile paved climb to Carter summit. At the 89 mile mark I realized I had given back about 14 minutes!! Ouch. I knew that I had <50 minutes to bring it home to be sub 9hours. I fought and grinded the whole way and I was stoked that I could push the pedals with reasonable force without cramping, I was beyond my redline and feeling good about everything, but my ending split was 51:00 and finish time of 9:01:37!! 25 minutes faster than last year!! I could be disappointed but I could be more excited and stoked that I cut so much time off my previous PR and that I was able to push myself so hard, I felt amazing, what a day, what a race and what a season! Thank you Julie!!!

Top 10 Auburn football players in 2016: Deshaun Davis
7. LB Deshaun Davis
Year: Sophomore
Why he's here: Davis was an essential part of Kevin Steele's defensive turnaround in 2016. Though he hadn't played a full football season in more than three years — Davis was sidelined with a left knee injury as a senior at Vigor High School and redshirted during his first two seasons on the Plains — he quickly emerged as a leader.
The sophomore commanded the Tigers with the savvy of a veteran and the attitude of a pro. He was responsible for managing a defense that played well enough to win arguably all of Auburn's 12 games. While considered undersized by most, the 5-foot-11, 239-pound linebacker was the team's fourth-best tackler (55 total) and often had a bigger impact than stat sheets indicated.

When the Prichard, Ala., native wasn't delivering merciless hits, he was earning high praise for his preparation from Steele.
"He studies film like a pro. A lot of times, he's telling guys actually what play's coming," Steele said. "That's unique. It's hard to do … he's very instinctive. He's very, very football smart. Very football smart. He can kind of run things. They have confidence in him out there for him to get them lined up and get the checks."
Davis' eagerness to succeed was contagious. He played with a boldness that only made the unit stronger. At one point, senior defensive back Josh Holsey, who often strolled through the Tiger Walk with Davis firing up fans, dubbed the linebacker the team's biggest trash talker.

— ⭐Deshaun Davis⭐ (@_Davis_Boy12) November 21, 2016
"That motivates him. That's all he does," Holsey said. "He jumps around. He celebrates. And that's just how he plays. And he plays great, so you can't really tell him to stop because he's playing awesome. Those guys really feed off of him. As a secondary, I feed off him as well because he's one of those guys who's been waiting for that moment. His moment came, and he's really ran with it now."
It became clear just how important Davis was after he was ejected for targeting in Auburn's game against Vanderbilt. Even on his way into the locker room, Davis found a way to be influential by charging up the crowd in Jordan-Hare Stadium.

— SEC Football (@SECfootball) November 5, 2016
Season stats: 55 tackles (30 solo, 7.5 for loss), 3 pass deflections
Next season: Davis will continue to be one of the biggest threats on defense for Auburn. As he familiarizes with SEC opponents, he'll become an even bigger nightmare for opposing offenses, but his leadership will be invaluable.
The linebacker is the kind of player underclassmen (and upperclassmen) will look and listen to as Auburn tries to maintain its defensive prowess. Davis also likely will remain one of the most passionate players on the roster, inspiring Tigers on both sides of the football.

No. 10: DE Marlon Davidson
No. 9: RB Kerryon Johnson
No. 8: QB Sean White

Midnight Special/
There are many science-fiction movies that owe an enormous debt to the early sci-fi work of Steven Spielberg, but Midnight Special is one of the few that manages to attain as much power as those works. The reason is simple: while director Jeff Nichols openly uses Close Encounters of the Third Kind and E.T. (not to mention John Carpenter's Starman) as sources of inspiration, he has no interest in actually being Spielberg. Nichols has a unique, distinctive voice, and he holds fast to that voice even during moments that feel like fairly blatant variations on things we've seen before. He offers a fresh take on a familiar story, wrapping the tale around a remarkably potent emotional core.
One of the most immediately striking things about the film is that it throws us right into the middle of an ongoing story and sends us looking for clues that might help us catch up. We learn that a child named Alton Meyer (Jaeden Lieberher, Aloha) has been kidnapped by a man named Roy Tomlin (Michael Shannon, Take Shelter). We meet Roy, and discover that he and his accomplice Lucas (Joel Edgerton, Warrior) are willing to go to extremes to keep the child safe. We learn that the boy was previously the adopted son of cult leader Calvin Meyer (Sam Shepard, Mud), and that the federal government is launching a massive search for the child. There are countless unanswered questions right off the bat, and we pay close attention to the characters in search of answers: who are these people, what are they trying to accomplish and who should we be rooting for? And why does everyone seem convinced that they're racing against the clock?
Eventually, a few pieces start coming together. It seems that Alton has some powerful, possibly supernatural abilities, and that those abilities inspired the formation of Calvin's cult. Those abilities also come with serious side effects: the boy has to stay out of sunlight at all times, and his health is starting to decline. We also discover that Roy is Alton's biological father, and later we're introduced to Sarah (Kirsten Dunst, Spider-Man), his biological mother. Everyone seems to be in a hurry, and everyone seems certain that a great deal is at stake: Roy and Sarah think the boy's life is in danger, the government is worried about some major national security breach and the members of the cult seem convinced that an apocalyptic event is just around the corner.
Like all of Nichols' previous films, this is a movie that spotlights ordinary people of rural America facing extraordinary circumstances. Despite the film's sci-fi trappings and wilder plot elements, the film feels of a piece with the rest of the director's work. The characters in his films almost never feel like conventional movie "types," but like real people who have rich, complicated lives outside the window of time we're looking in on. Midnight Special leaves plenty to our imagination, but it also does plenty to stoke our imagination: there are so many small moments that suggest so much. It's not difficult to imagine the early days of Calvin Meyer's cult, or the more turbulent days of Roy and Sarah's marriage, or the countless hours of research NSA operative Paul Sevier (Adam Driver, Star Wars: The Force Awakens) has done, or the reaction Lucas must have had when Roy asked for his help.
The performances are largely essays in understatement, as the actors follow their director's approach of trying to do more with less. The result is a film that often feels a bit more muted than other movies of its type, but also a film that manages to generate moments of extraordinary emotional power. All of the lead actors have demonstrated elsewhere that they can kill a big monologue if they're required to, but here they seem to have been cast for what they can do with their faces: Shannon's tense fatigue, Dunst's regretful concern, Edgerton's cautious skepticism, Driver's intelligent curiosity.
As for the boy himself? He's a bit of an enigma. Most of the time, he seems like a perfectly ordinary, innocent kid... until he has another of his seizures, beams of light shoot from his eyes and you're reminded that he may not even be of this world. The wide variety of reactions the boy's powers inspire occasionally transforms the film into a thought-provoking meditation on faith. If Christ or Buddha or Mohammed were to suddenly appear and start performing all sorts of miracles, it wouldn't suddenly unite humanity, because we would find all sorts of different ways to interpret it. So it is with young Alton, whose abilities inspire multiple strains of religious zealotry, wary disbelief and scientific inquiry. Nichols never regards any of these people with condescension, but with empathy. People hurt each other, but there aren't really any villains in this story... just a lot of different folks trying to do the right thing (though sometimes in a troublingly misguided way).
The film is a mystery wrapped in a chase film wrapped in a sci-fi drama, and it's a lot of other things, too. Nichols has a lot to say, but he leaves plenty of room for viewers to explore their own trains of thought. Given the way the characters in this film respond to Alton, it seems appropriate that Midnight Special is a film designed to inspire a lot of reactions. Personally, I found the film most affecting as a parable about parenthood... more specifically, as a parable about letting go of a child. I thought about my young son, and about the fact that while I am tasked with taking care of him for the moment and loving him always, he ultimately belongs to the future, not to me.
"You don't have to worry about me," Alton tells Roy.
"I like worrying about you," Roy replies.
It's such a simple exchange, but it says so much. Later, a version of that conversation is whittled down to something even more spare: a brief non-verbal exchange that contains an ocean of feeling. By the time the movie reaches its climax, it is communicating with us on a wavelength of pure emotion. It will undoubtedly leave some baffled and others frustrated, but if you're on that wavelength, the film is an intensely moving experience. This is another great work from one of America's great filmmakers.

Quarterfinals arrive for men's Olympic hockey
Feb. 18, 2014
SOCHI, Russia (AP) — The Olympic men's hockey tournament has reached the quarterfinals, and the favorites are one victory away from the chance to play for medals.
So are Slovenia and Latvia, who crashed the quarterfinal party with upset victories Tuesday in the qualification round.
Russia's perilous meeting with Finland is the main event Wednesday at the Bolshoy Ice Dome, where the tournament hosts will attempt to play their way into medal contention. The game is likely to be broadcast on big screens throughout the Olympic park, where the nervous home fans will cheer on Alex Ovechkin and his desperate teammates.
The Russians missed out on a bye to the quarterfinals, but tuned up for the bigger games with a 4-0 victory over Norway that might get their struggling offense on the move again. Russia hasn't allowed a goal in more than 140 minutes, making up for its inconsistent offense with stellar goaltending.
"It is already do-or-die," said Ovechkin, who hasn't scored since the opening minutes of the tournament opener. "I'm pretty sure everybody is ready. Finland will be ready."
Top-seeded Sweden opens the four-game slate against tiny Slovenia, which has recorded its first two Olympic hockey victories in Sochi. Los Angeles Kings center Anze Kopitar's team surprised Austria on Tuesday, earning an unlikely chance to face star goalie Henrik Lundqvist and the smooth Swedes, who went unbeaten in preliminary-round play.
In the evening games, Canada takes on Latvia at the same time the U.S. faces Jaromir Jagr and the Czech Republic.
Latvia earned its first trip to the quarterfinals with a 3-1 victory over Switzerland on Tuesday, showcasing a tight defensive game that could have a small chance against powerful Canada. Although Vancouver Olympics hero Sidney Crosby hasn't scored a goal yet in Sochi, the unbeaten defending champions seem overdue for an offensive outburst to earn a trip to the semifinals.
The Americans also made a perfect run through the preliminary round, and were arguably the most impressive team last week with two blowout victories and a shootout win over the Russians.
After two days of worldwide attention for shootout hero T.J. Oshie, leading scorer Phil Kessel and goalie Jonathan Quick, the U.S. must figure out how to shut down the Czechs, who have enough offensive talent to cause problems for anybody.
"We're confident, but we've still got a lot of work to do," U.S. forward Ryan Kesler said. "The real test begins tomorrow and it's win or go home."

Hello my lovelies. I hope you have had a super duper day. It's been bright and breezy here. Once again I spent most of the day in my sewing room working on finishing up things. What a lovely time I've had.
While I worked this morning, I watched/listened to a couple of episodes of Betrayal on my laptop. I made a couple of handles …..
And made some Yo-Yos to embellish a couple of projects …..
And here's one of the projects I finished during today's sewing session …..
This project is my Elongated Hexagon Bag. I loved designing and working on this project. In fact I enjoyed it so much that I went on to make another one and another variation on the same theme as well. I love messing around in my sewing room. And when a design morphs into different things it makes me very happy. I will be teaching this project next month. For more info about this class click here to be taken to my Upcoming Events & Workshops page.
I was hoping to get a good photo of my Four Season Button Club Whimsy project today but it was rather windy again today. So until I get the chance to take a proper photo I have decided to post this one …..
This project is a combination of appliqué, stitchery, pieced spacer blocks and borders etc. This year's Whimsy has a little twist to it as I have worked with my creative friend Sandra who has designed and painted special buttons. The buttons form part of the appliqué pictures and they add dimension and interest. To be honest I think the buttons make the project pop. I will be posting more info about this class nearer the time when the class will start.
It's been a lovely relaxed day in my little world. I pottered around in my sewing room quietly at my own speed. And somehow I managed to finish a couple of projects and do some prep work for a couple more. I wonder what tomorrow will bring.
So for this evening, this very happy longarm quilter will be adding labels to today's finishes and possibly doing some hand piecing. I hope you have a super cosy evening doing something that makes you happy. Until you read me again,
Happy stitching. ♥ ♥

|Killing the Messenger: attacks on press freedom in South Sudan
By Paul Jimbo
Despite the general feeling that all is well in South Sudan with regards to press freedom, the truth is, that the media in the world's youngest nation is under attack. A closer scrutiny of the media situation in the country paints a grim and gloomy picture of press freedom.
"It is a picture of a desperate sector struggling to overcome unending turbulence. It is a sector crying out for the right to access information and disseminate information," says Oliver Modi, Chairperson of the Union of Journalists of South Sudan (UJOSS). Modi observes that due to lack of media laws in South Sudan, journalists have had their cameras or equipment confiscated or damaged by plain-clothed security operatives, who either demand an official permit from the journalists or label them as spies without proof. David de Dau, the Executive Director of the Agency for Independent Media (AIM) commented, "We have a number of disturbing reports from different parts of South Sudan which are of major concern to us as media, to the people of South Sudan, to the region and indeed to the world as a whole. We have cases where journalists have been arrested, harassed, intimidated, threatened, humiliated, molested, tortured and detained for no clear reason." This trend is worrying stakeholders in the sector.
There is also lack of understanding amongst law enforcement agencies on the role of the media; a situation which has only worsened the state of media freedom, as security agencies continue raiding media houses and harassing journalists with complete impunity.
In one of the worst examples of attempts to gag the media in South Sudan, in 2010, security forces in the capital Juba, raided two media houses, arrested personnel and even ordered them to shut their operations. Juba's Bakhita and Liberty FM stations went off air for close to two hours after security forces purportedly dispatched by the Public Security Director's Office, stormed them and ordered their immediate closure.
First to be arrested was Liberty FM's Albino Tokwano, the station's General Manager. Speaking to The People's Voice, Mr Tokwano, who vividly recalled the incident said, "They bundled us into their vehicle before driving us to the office of the Director General of Public Security."
"They demanded copies of our popular 'Evening Drive' live call-in programme. They alleged that we hosted a senior political figure whose sentiments and utterances presented the SPLM government in a bad light," asserted Mr Tokwano. "When they released us, they asked us never to host anybody critical of the government or else they promised to permanently shut down our station," he added.
The same day, Bhakita FM's Director, Sister Cecilia, was also arrested and bundled into a police car before being driven to the public security office for interrogation. She was accused of hosting opposition leaders in programmes that were allegedly aimed at discrediting the government.
Radio Bhakita's Station Manager, Sister Paula, confirmed that indeed her colleague, Sister Cecelia, was picked up and questioned for nearly two hours at the Director of Public Security's offices. "During all that time, our station remained closed as security agents surrounded the building after switching off our equipment. They however returned back the keys after grilling Sister Cecilia," said Sister Paula.
In fact, 2010 as a whole was a bad year for press freedom, witnessing a high number of incidents all over South Sudan. In Bor town of Jonglei state, a journalist was arrested, harassed and detained for more than three days only to be released without charge. In Unity state, another journalist was arrested, beaten and tortured in detention. In Western Equatoria, a female journalist was intimidated and reportedly sexually abused. In all three cases, according to security intelligence officers, the reporters were suspected of spying. In Eastern Equatoria, a journalist was arrested, harassed and detained for two days.
In April 2010, Banifacio Taban Kuich, a reporter with online journal, Sudan Votes, was arrested and beaten before being detained for thirteen days in Upper Nile's Bentiu town. Banifacio was also accused of spying for the Khartoum regime by allegedly pretending to be a journalist.
In Lakes state a journalist was taken from his house and locked up after publishing a story that seemed to implicate state authorities in corruption. In other cases from Lakes State, there are many examples of journalists being compelled to broadcast biased information, especially that perceived to be destructive to the establishment's adversaries or favorable to those in powerful positions.
The situation this year has not shown any signs of improvement. A Sudan Radio Service journalist was detained by public security in Wau, after he was picked up by plain-clothed security, in May, for taking photographs without permission. The reporter, Mohammed Arkou Ali, was on an official assignment to gather news and programmes for the Darfur News and Information Service. On May 21st, Ali was moved from a detention center outside Wau town where he had been held for thirteen days to the public security office in Wau, from where he was later released after a further five days in detention, after petitions and protests by the management of his radio station.
Also this year, both The Juba Post and The Citizen newspapers joined the list of media houses that have been attacked. Only a couple of days after the January 9th referendum, Michael Koma, Secretary General of UJOSS, and Chief Editor of The Juba Post, one of the most prominent national papers, was arrested, though quickly released, because of a piece he wrote about irregularities in the affairs of a leading bank. In April this year, an entire issue of The Juba Post was confiscated, and Mr Koma detained once again due to another piece on an interview with a rebel leader, which the government deemed was a threat to national security.
Koma explained, "All that I went through was just attempts by certain politicians to threaten and intimidate me to tone down my voice on issues perceived as corruption cases. Some powerful people would not want the media to expose their scandals yet they think journalists can be hoodwinked to cover their ills; this is why I was arrested and even summoned several times."
In the same month, journalists from The Citizen newspaper were beaten by security forces as they reported on demolition work at Juba University and then the newspaper's editor Nhial Bol was arrested after reporting on the attacks on his journalists.
Following the incidents in April, GoSS Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Dr Barnabas Benjamin Marial, reassured a delegation of Media Diversity Institute and UJOSS officials that the government was keen on promoting press freedom. According to Dr Marial, the reported cases of attacks on the media were merely isolated cases involving errant officers and some civil servants keen on maligning the otherwise good intentions of the young government. The delegation led by MDI's Executive Director, Milica Pesic, and UJOSS's Oliver Modi, had paid a courtesy call on the Minister to raise concerns over continued attacks on the media and the government's perceived reluctance to pass the media bill.

WARNING: The following list deals with subject matter not appropriate for children. Reader discretion is advised.
To call Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky's Image series "Sex Criminals" irreverent would be like calling the Red Wedding from "Game of Thrones" a mildly unpleasant event. In other words, it's a massive understatement. For those not in the know, "Sex Criminals" follows John and Suzie, two people who can stop time when they orgasm. Yep, that's the premise, and believe us when we say it only gets weirder (and ruder) from there.
RELATED: Kevin Smith's 15 Most Controversial Comic Book Moments
Sure, the series may be one of the most honest and sincere explorations of sex and sexuality to ever grace comic book pages, but that doesn't stop Fraction and Zdarsky from cramming as many sex jokes and as much toilet humor as they can into each issue. Whether it's in the form of Chip Zdarksy's hilarious background jokes or Matt Fraction's snarky dialogue, "Sex Criminals" is all about pushing the envelope. With that in mind, the team at CBR have compiled the series' edgiest, cheekiest and downright hilarious moments for your reading pleasure.
Much to writer Matt Fraction and Artist Chip Zdarsky's surprise, the first story arc of "Sex Criminals" flew off the shelves leading to multiple printings. With these printings came (you guessed it) more covers, including a third cover of "Sex Criminals" #3 that spoofed Queen's legendary "Bohemian Rhapsody" video clip.
The cover featured series protagonists Jon and Suzie; Suzie's Flatmate Rachelle; as well as series villain Myrtle Spurge (yep, that is her actual name), all dramatically bathed in black. Fittingly enough, Suzie took the place of Queen front-man, Freddie Mercury, on the cover.
Easily the least sexually charged item on this list, the Queen cover is not only great to look at, it also happens to be another offence in the comics' short history of ripping off Queen. Given Fraction and Zdarsky's already legally questionable use of a Queen song in issue #3, the cover wasn't merely a homage; it was a cheeky poke at the bear.
Well before he was writing "Howard the Duck" for Marvel, "Sex Criminals" artist Chip Zdarsky was busy working on another animal, a very different sort of animal. That animal, for those of you playing at home, is the very, very creepy frog that adorned the wall of Suzie's classroom in "Sex Criminals" #1.
Emblazoned with the timeless motto "reading is sexy," this buxom amphibian brought with it only questions. Piles and piles of questions. Questions like: "why is reading sexy?", "what does a frog have to do with reading?","why on earth does it have boobs?" and "wait, is Chip off his medication again?" At the time of writing this, we have yet to have any answers to these important questions.
Sure, that busty frog may have only made a handful of appearances, but that was more then enough time for it to find its way into our hearts (and let's be honest here, into our nightmares as well).
Unable to resist pandering to all the Ask Jeeves fans out there, Fraction and Zdarsky gave the obsolete search engine their own respectful homage. Gracing the pages of "Sex Criminals" #2, the adult search engine "Ass Jeeves" can bring you anything your filthy mind desires and all at a whopping 14.4k speed. The future is here!
Touted as the "world's BEST search engine for erotic googling," Ass Jeeves features the titular butler wearing what can only be described as a classy pair of ass-less chaps.
The saucy search engine was featured in Jon's story of sexual awakening and was a hilarious metaphor for the difference between male and female sexuality. In "Sex Criminals" #1, Suzie discovers her sexuality in a relaxed and private setting, but for Jon and his friends, their discovery takes place in the form of using Ass Jeeves in the school library. In a series filled with countless dirty puns and memorable background gags, this one stands out not only for its solid pun work, but also for its importance to the story.
Coming in at number 12, it's the porn version of the movie Chip still hasn't seen, "Hard-On Fink." A playful send up of the Coen Brothers 1991 period film "Barton Fink," Hard-On Fink is exactly the same, only with sex and hilarious innuendo filled dialogue. In fact, "Sex Criminals" writer, Matt Fraction, had so many ideas for the "Hard-On Fink" dialogue that he included a whole page of outtakes in the first collected edition. Turns out he is a bit of a fan.
Although memorable, the appearance of "Hard-On Fink" is a rather short moment that facilitates a larger pervy montage. Suzie and Jon use the film to get freaky and stop time before proceeding to cause havoc in a sex shop. Cue sex-toy throwing, blow-up dolls, boob glasses and more fake porn parody titles than you can take in at once. For allowing that hilarious montage to occur, we owe "Hard-On Fink" a heartfelt thank you.
"Sex Criminals" can be many things. It's funny, honest, edgy and at times even thoughtful. However, one thing it certainly isn't is subtle. Yep, who would have thought a book with the word "sex" in the title could be a tad bombastic and over the top?
This lack of subtly occurs in many places. Places like the background gags and the countless phallic symbols Zdarsky manages to sneak into each page all feed into this; however, none are more on the nose than the jokes hidden in Jon and Susie's last names.
Johnson and Dickson, Jon and Suzie's respective last names, are obvious phallus jokes. Yep. It certainly isn't subtle or clever, but it's there; another dirty Easter egg waiting to be found in the pages of "Sex Criminals." Admittedly, these two not-so-secret phallus jokes are hardly surprising given the series' strong focus on exploring every aspect and detail of Jon and Suzie's sex life.
"Sex Criminals'" #8 introduces a new character in the form of Jon's unconventional therapist. This therapist, by complete coincidence I am sure, just happens to mildly resemble the series artist Chip Zdarsky. To clarify, by mildly resemble, I do mean he looks exactly like Chip Zdarsky. Well except for all the grey hair, but give it time.
While struggling with depression, Jon encounters the Zdarsky look-a-like eating chicken fingers in a shopping centre food court. After a helpful discussion in which the therapist angrily points a chicken finger at Jon, Jon decides to go into therapy. Although a critical plot point in the story, the scene also raises the question as to whether this was how "Sex Criminals" creators Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky met. Was Matt Fraction sadly stumbling through a food court when he met Chip Zdarsky? Was Chip Zdarsky eating chicken fingers at the time? Was he even wearing pants? So many questions!
If there's one scene that encapsulates what "Sex Criminals" is all about, it is the scene in issue #1 where a teenage Suzie asks Rachelle, the "most popular girl" in East View Middle School, about sex. What follows is the now infamous montage of bizarre sex positions all brought to life by crudely drawn illustrations. This scene brought us all kinds of fake maneuvers and positions, but it's brimping that would go on to become the series' biggest contribution to comic book (and possibly sex) culture, with fans of the series referring to themselves as "brimpers."
Apart from a truly inspired array of off-putting sex positions, this scene reminds us just how terrible being a teenager is when it comes to sex education. It's like being trapped in a sea of misinformation where the only people willing to tell you anything don't know anything themselves. Instead of learning about the intricacies of sexuality, you will probably just walk away with a list of made up sex moves.
When John breaks into Myrtle Spurge's sex dungeon, things end the only way they possibly could: with a high-stakes sex toy fight. Taking place in the pages of "Sex Criminals" #7, Jon's one man war against the sex police climaxes (no pun intended) with our horny hero fighting a sex police stooge. Jon's weapon of choice was of course an oversized sex toy that he wielded as a sword.
In what we can only assume was intended to be another respectful homage, Jon's combat dildo resembles Darth Maul's lightsaber from "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace." The hilarious phallic fencing that ensues carries a surprising amount of emotional gravity as Jon vents his pent up frustration, anger and confusion on the sex police goon, one wallop at a time. The fight soon degenerates to down and dirty wrestling, with smaller toys and other bizarre implements flying across the room as Jon and the sex police goon grapple across the floor.
It all started with one innocent "Sex Criminals" cover. In an attempt to keep up with demand, "Sex Criminals" #1 went to a fourth printing, and with it came a new cover. This new cover featured series creators Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky posing awkward family photo style while holding a first print run copy of "Sex Criminals" #1. Simple enough right?
Things took a turn for the complicated when two brimpers (fans of the comic, not the move), Julliet and Heather, took a picture of themselves mimicking the fourth printing cover while holding a copy of said cover. Things only escalated from there when Fraction and Zdarsky took a photo of themselves holding the picture of Juliet and Heather while mimicking their original pose from the "Sex Criminals" #1 fourth printing cover. Confused yet?
The saga eventually resulted in seven photos, the most impressive being an official "Sex Criminals" #6 brimpception variant that featured a picture of Juliette and Heather holding a picture of Zdarsky and Fraction holding a picture of Juliet and Heather. To really drop the mic, Zdarsky and Fraction only had 100 copies of the cover printed, all of which they shipped to the comic store where Heather and Juliette worked.
The phrase "winter is coming" took on new meaning when Zdarsky and Fraction decided to work in a subtle little "Game of Thrones" Easter egg into "Sex Criminals" #7. I'm kidding of course. In true "Sex Criminals" style, the reference is anything but subtle.
Sitting in the corner of Myrtle Spurge's sex dungeon, amongst all the horrifying sex toys and countless dirty puns, was a life size iron throne. Only, instead of being made from melted swords, Myrtle's throne was made from piles and piles of, well, you can see what's in the picture. In what is no doubt the least hygienic way to store your adult implements, the toys were arranged into an exact replica of the most sacred of chairs from HBO's popular fantasy series.
Unfortunately, the chair met its untimely demise at the hands of Jon, when he tackled a member of the sex police into the throne.
In a book about people with weird sex-based powers, it doesn't get much weirder, or creepier, than the sex power manifesting in Douglas D. Douglas. When we first meet Douglas in "Sex Criminals" #11, he seems like a regular guy. He works a normal job, drives a normal car and lives a normal life. Also, his seed happens to turn into a sparkling anime angel.
Douglas' anime angel is a powerful being, for lack of a better word, that possess the power of flight, a childish giggle and a whole mess of powerful tentacles. Not surprisingly, things do not go well for Jon and Suzie when they try and fight Douglas' "semen demon." Imbued with super-human strength, the angel's' gooey tentacles throw Jon and Suzie around Douglas' house, ripping through wood and plaster. Our sticky heroes eventually win the day by electrocuting the beast, reducing it to a disgusting puddle.
In what we can only assume is an attempt to draw himself into the series as many times as possible, "Sex Criminals" artist Chip Zdarsky makes a cameo appearance in Jon's apartment in the opening pages of "Sex Criminals" #6. Appearing only for a brief two panels, Zdarsky's divine visage adorns Jon's wall in the form of a poster. Completely superfluous, the poster adds nothing more to the scene than the inclusion of Zdarsky's face.
On the poster, Zdarsky appears in a side profile, staring off thoughtfully into the distance below the word "life." In an improvement on the actual Zdarsky, poster Zdarsky has a glorious mullet flowing down the back of his head. There's a party in the back alright.
What makes this moment particularly cheeky is its brevity. Blink and you will miss it. It's a fun little reward for the attentive (and possibly Zdarsky obsessed) reader as well as a reminder that Zdarsky is having a whole lot of fun drawing this series.
In their never ending faux-feud with "The Wicked + The Divine" creators Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie, Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky took things in a saucy direction with their porn parody, "The Lick-ed and the Divine."
For the uninitiated, "The Wicked+ The Divine" is another Image comics series written by Kieron Gillen and drawn by Jamie McKelvie about celebrity worship and the gods of various mythologies. The "Lick-ed and Divine," on the other hand, is something else entirely.
Appearing in "Sex Criminals" #9, the "Lick-ed and the Divine" was the first shoot Jon's adult movie crush, Jazmine St. Cocaine, ever worked on. The scene features Jasmine dressed as Amateurassu, a "clever" play on Amaterarsu, and a Lucy look-a-like going at it while a very focused Kieron Gillen looks on.
As well as playfully poking fun at "The Wicked + The Divine," Fraction and Zdarsky's parody introduces Jazmine St. Cocaine's sex power, a vital weapon in the war against the sex police.
No strangers to breaking the fourth wall, Matt fraction and Chip Zdarsky took their meta jokes to a whole new level in "Sex Criminals" #14. When writer Matt Fraction is unable to write a tricky scene in which Suzie and Jazmine St. Cocaine have a heated argument, artist Chip Zdarsky comes to the rescue by drawing the phone call between himself and Fraction, in which Fraction laments his problem. That's right, instead of writing and drawing a scene the "Sex Criminals" creators depicted themselves talking about how they couldn't write and draw that scene.
In the exchange, Fraction details what would have to happen in the scene mechanically to move the story forward while Zdarsky brags about how much money he is making writing "Howard the Duck" and "Jughead." The real kicker comes right at the end of the scene when it is revealed that Zdarsky was sitting on Fractions back during the entire three page conversation!
"Sex Criminals" #3 featured a rollicking musical number, all without any actual music. In a whimsical bar scene, Suzie dances and sings the lyrics of Queen's "Fat Bottomed Girls" while Jon watch's on, love-struck. Only thing is, Suzie doesn't sing the actual lyrics because Fraction and Zdarsky couldn't get the rights to the song in time. But instead of giving up, the "Sex Criminals" creators found a loophole; they just replaced the lyrics with an apology for not being able to secure the lyrics in time.
All the drama and rhythm of "Fat Bottomed girls" is in the scene, except instead of "Oh, you gonna take me home tonight," you can read about how hard Fraction and Zdarsky tried to get the lyrics and how much they both love Freddie Mercury. They may not have gotten the lyrics, but their apology is comedy gold. Regardless, "Fat Bottomed Girls" has become the closest thing "Sex Criminals" has to a theme song.

You were the first thread of hope that awaited me … you made me constantly brave my suffocated tiny world which had strangled the little life left of me. A world flattened and squashed … where I've been battered, clattered and shattered. You came at just about the time when I was losing grip of the last remaining thread of hope: The time when I was already utterly derailed and trampled. My spirits were slain and my soul was shackled.
And then, somewhere, out of the remaining fraction of such lengthy bleak days, you were presented … and you had wiped a bit of anguish and pain in my wholeness. You were a godsend, a permanent gift from the gods … reminding me that faith did move my already trampled and desecrated mountain. No word could describe the immense gladness that I've known in my whole curtailed life. You gave me the courage to cling onto the last remaining breath of my wasted self … Brand Cialis duly wasted at a much younger phase. You then became my hope and faith … my only guiding line to immerse the tired self into borrowed golden moments, strongly overpowered by the grim and bleakest and solitary confinement: All momentarily replacing those times of anguish … in those days and decades of helplessness and hopelessness. I couldn't thank you enough for that.
You wiped out as much sadness and replaced it with traces of exaltation and overwhelming joy. You were the only reminder of spring that brought life to my broken spirits. Switching off whenever I had the chance – to ponder on those wishful thoughts at every borrowed time, every stolen little instances were transformed into a magical ride, transcending from a numbed and battered self, jilted and wilted by lost time. You were the first joyful sight in my lingering desire to wake up in another chapter – switching off, regressing, and winding back. Inevitably real yet unreal, as concrete as the walls which liberally surrounded me,not even an echo would replicate the sound emanating from my lifeless soul and overly tired body. Yet there you were.
You came beyond the blue … showering me with tinges of pink and red. Another life, a bouncing life. You became my second … the first being long gone and extinguished fragile lifeline. You flickered like a tiny candle, faint yet strong enough to give me courage and once again hope that there is always a brighter side at the end of the tunnel. You gave me that last remaining thread of hope – that mountains can sometimes glance at faith. That in the end both can reach out to each other; that the tangible one will eventually be moved and shifted.
I owe you a lot. From the very start when I gave you life … the very start when you gave me one, in return. From the very beginning up to the end you were the end and the beginning of how I am … and was.
And the only reasonable reason to repay you is through this last remaining wish: A fervent wish, a fervour hope, a futile thought, a wish against all wishes, of a blissful eternal rest. Terminating the time and wiping away endless fountains of tears and mountain of fears, leaving all those behind to give way to a peaceful start, a new wave of pulsating life in the unknown. A beautiful sacred sleep… a blissful rest and serenity, of dancing jubilantly with the splendour of the sanctified self.

This was the original viral video. Branit and Hunt created this short film on their own while working as artists on Star Trek Voyager and Deep Space Nine.
The simple story of the wrong guy at the wrong place when the freeway gets used as an emergency runway has been hailed as the perfect short film, and has opened many doors for Branit and Hunt.

Course Bundle Overview
You know how frustrating it is when you hear one thing about nutrition and then read something else that completely contradicts what you just read?
Yeah, I do, too.
I used to get caught up reading nutrition articles and blogs online, only to be left feeling as if I had just wasted hours of my time because the last article I read convinced me that everything I thought I learned in the first article I read was wrong.
I became fed-up not having a reliable source of nutrition information and even more frustrated that I wasted so much time trying to find the truth. I wanted credible, concise information that was easy to understand and simple to implement into my day.
This is why I founded TNT University – your home for premier online nutrition video courses.
TNT University offers short and sweet video content to provide you with the information and tools you need to eat healthily and confidently for life.
Created by a Registered Dietitian with a Master's degree in Exercise and Nutrition Sciences, TNT University courses contain research-backed information and actionable strategies that are communicated in an easy-to-understand manner. This information has helped Paul's 600 (and growing) 1:1 clients transform their lives while collectively losing thousands of pounds of body fat and building hundreds of pounds of muscle.
Unlike the popular fad diets, cookie-cutter meal plans, and gimmicky weight loss programs that promise rapid weight loss, TNT University courses focus on helping you understand the "why" behind various nutrition concepts and deliver actionable strategies to help you readily implement what you learn.
Collectively, you'll learn how to adjust your eating to improve your health, physique, and performance today, tomorrow, and for the rest of your life!
take a look inside
Part I- Premium Carbohydrates
Hunger-Fighting Strategies
Fluids Fill You Up Part I
Choosing A Lean Protein Part I
The History of Fat in Media
The Forgotten Macronutrient
What's Included?
Each course contains 15 – 20 information-packed videos. And even better, each video is only 2 – 5 minutes in length. You'll have the option to binge through all them in a row, or to watch one at a time at your own pace. The choice is yours.
In less than two hours you'll feel confident and ready to take back control of your nutrition.
You'll also receive a downloadable PDF that contains questions pertaining to each individual video to help you master the main takeaways from the course and to encourage you to put into action what you learn.
"Paul does an excellent job making each topic simple and easy to understand. I love the style and can't wait for more courses. This should be mandatory for EVERYONE!"
Jess C.
"I do love how each video in the carb course is short. It keeps me attentive and wanting to keep clicking to the next video, but is also a good way to not lose track of your progress when you don't have much time to finish everything. Thanks again!"
Jayne J.
"Working with Paul was amazing — he was integral to the success I had. He's so great at educating…he helped me understand the 'why' of nutrition changes we made. I'm so grateful for working with Paul — he completely changed my life."
Kailtin M.
Whos's it For?
Full-Time Parents
"I always felt that I could be eating and feeding my kids better. Yet, with such a busy schedule, I never made the time to learn more. Paul's quick content fit with my schedule perfectly and gave me the knowledge and confidence to ensure me and my family are eating healthy. Thank, Paul!"
Tara R.
You Want To Look Like You Workout 5x Per Week
"I've been going to CrossFit 5 nights per week the past three years. I didn't finally feel as if I looked the part until watching Paul's carbohydrate and protein courses!"
Stephanie P.
You Want A Healthy Relationship With Food
"I always felt anxious about eating specific foods, and even guilty for choosing "bad" foods. Especially with carbs! After watching Paul's carbohydrate course, I feel 10x more confident. I can't wait to watch another course!"
Jackie A.
You Want To Increase Your Nutrition Confidence
"I never know who to trust about nutrition information. My workout partners do one thing, my coworkers another, yet, the internet says both aren't good. TNT University provides reliable information and even better, Paul teaches you how to apply it to your day. I love that each video is only a few minutes!"
Adrienne L.
Trainers and Coaches Who Want To Better Help Their Clients
"I've been a Personal Trainer and Nutrition Consultant in the business for over seven years and was happily surprised to see the brilliant format of educational content in TNT University. Bravo. Merci beaucoup!!! I look forward to (re)learning more soon."
Sebastien L.
"Paul's ability to make learning the nuances of nutrition engaging and entertaining, and most importantly, practical, is second to none!"
Ashley C.
"I learned so many things with Paul's help. I have learned how to eat, when to eat it. But more importantly that the scale is JUST A NUMBER and is really" irrelevant" in your progress. That your body composition is changing even if your scale is not. How you feel is MORE important than the scale. My performance in the box is through the rough and surprisingly even when on a cut."
Brandie V.
"Paul is filled with knowledge nuggets. I can't imagine not having his advice/support/wisdom in the uncertain delicious world of food!"
Katie M.
"Paul was so essential to my success. His vast knowledge about nutrition and dieting meant that he always had a plan for me and knew exactly when to make what changes"
Adrianna A.
I'm so confident that you'll find each course valuable that I'm extending a 60-day 100% money back guarantee. All I ask is that you watch each video in the course(s) you purchased and complete the accompanying supporting content.

Tips Process To Catch Your Husband Cheating With Stealthy Spying Techniques
No matter whether you plan to use covert hypnosis or NLP techniques, you have to have the right mindset or mind state for making the sale. Use different patterns and even self hypnosis, if necessary, to gain confidence www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/news/uk_news/Arts/article1498746.ece - stealthy crossword clue - your communications, leadership and persuasion skills.Most of the levels are straight forward. There are 8 in all. You complete a level by obtaining the prime objective. Difficult levels require you to obtain secondary objectives as well. But trust me, it's not difficult. You can complete each level as you wish. You can sneak around and snipe your enemies, but the game isn't very difficult so you don't really have a need to be leefcommunications.com/?p=186 - best covert earpiece - . It is made so that you can blast your way straight through. You can carry up to 2 weapons at once. You merely switch them out when you find a better one. You replenish your health with health packs that you find in the environment or on your fallen enemies. You can carry up to 3 of these.That being said, hypnosis has a tremendous power, actually I can't give it its proper explanation, classic or covert, specially covert hypnosis, it is a set of techniques that you can use to put anyone in a trance without him even knowing that, and get him to THINK an idea you want, as if it was HIM, cool, ha?John 3 reads like a spy novel - verse 16 is part of a clandestine conversation between Jesus and one of the Jewish leaders who secretly believed in Him. Truth is, the first time those words were uttered they may have been whispered in a dark-alley. Nichodemus could have gotten banned from the Temple for life if anyone found out he spoke to Jesus! The chapter is far more interesting if you read the whole thing. Take your time, keep your reading in context, and get the whole story.So if it's peace of mind you want and the certainty of really, really knowing for sure if your spouse is faithful or a lousy cheat, get a reputable private investigator to do the job. Ask yourself if you need to know the truth. Do you really want to find out if your husband or wife is www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/the-tax-man-is-watching-you-hmrc-snoops-on-public-14000-times-in-a-year-8449862.html - covert cases - cheating on you.So why Korean stars? In a recent article, The Hollywood Reporter mused that the recent decision to include Asian pop icons such as Lee and Korean singer Rain may be an effort to rope in larger audiences abroad in Asia. While this line of thought is certainly sound, the inclusion of these foreign stars may also within plump up film attendance domestically as there are over a million and a half Koreans living in the U.S. While this is a small percentage of the U.S. population, it still suggests that we shouldn't just look at this in terms of foreign markets. Putting famous Korean actors in small roles in films will bring in a new audience while in no way detracting from the film's overall marketability.

text: Zenfolio | NR Photography | Andrea's Bridals NR Photography Andrea's Bridals October 09, 2013 I was wrapping up the edits on Andrea's big wedding day when I realized that her bridal shoot merited it's own post. I had originally planned to combine it with the photos from the wedding day, but there were quite a few I wanted to share. We met at a nicely-landscaped subdivision, then to a grove of trees. I was lucky to have a sweet assistant, Liz Blaine, helping me, which made all the difference. I really like having an extra set of eyes, hands, and someone to bounce ideas off of when I'm taking pictures. I could be wrong, but I don't think Andrea was wearing makeup in these photos. And if she wasn't, well, I'm sorry but she is one of the prettiest girls I've seen without makeup on! That hair, that skin, those eyes...
